Another cool swarm and a cut-out, that was pretty cool also. The last pic is what was waiting for me when I got home, courtesy of Dadant. Now, I say this sarcastically, cause my orders are generally in cardboard boxes I carry inside. What the $@*# am I supposed to do with this? Guess I'm doing a bunch of back & forth, was a big order though.

when you do an inside cut out, what happens to all the strays when you are done? also, when you are going to start your cut, how do you pick your place? i assume you use a stud finder to help, but is the actual spot kind of a hail mary?

.....The greatest changes occur in their country without their cooperation. They are not even aware of precisely what has taken place. They suspect it; they have heard of the event by chance. More than that, they are unconcerned with the fortunes of their village, the safety of their streets, the fate of their church and its vestry. They think that such things have nothing to do with them, that they belong to a powerful stranger called “the government.” They enjoy these goods as tenants, without a sense of ownership, and never give a thought to how they might be improved.....

LOL, I am laughing because I got my Dadant order a couple days ago. Three boxes, 2 frames one a nuc, and I asked my DH for a nail gun. HAHAHA Bless his heart, we are going nail gun shopping tomorrow...I am sure YOU have a nail gun right JP, HOW many frames will you make or are those hives bodies?

Oh and I had to buy a new digital camera because he dropped it in New Orleans, said his hands were slippery after eating a beniet (?)...'Blamin my new camera purchase on Lousiana
